Employment – Whistleblower – Doctor

Where a plaintiff, alleging that he was denied reappointment to the defendant hospital’s medical staff as a consequence of his whistleblowing activities, brought a multi-count complaint against the hospital and a codefendant who was a prominent member of the peer review process characterized by the plaintiff as a ‘sham,’ the antitrust count of the complaint should be dismissed, but the defendants’ dismissal motion should otherwise be denied.
